   I work in this space and online blogs are incredibly sparse. Would love to know as well. Here's an article I found interesting about air cargo software (my dad learned on this at Swiss Air in the 70s-80s) https://retool.com&

   Do you find value in keeping the hard copy? I've been scanning all documents for 6 years now, and over that time, I have 4 buckets: A. scan and file B. scan and throw C. scan and shred D. just throw Scanner OCRs the docs and drops them

   Right, that it is and possibly I'll make a good amount of money that way. However, we're a small company with lots of dependencies. E.g. To make $10M in revenue we need ~30 employees, forklifts, trucks, warehouses etc. and are abl

   Wouldn't security pay a lot more in the long run? My impression was security researchers (good ones), get paid at or above a software engineer?

    >> Start a blog & track your progress. Thanks for that. Writing is a skill that I have failed time and again to develop. The 6 months I blogged, I still refer to those notes after 2 years. It's so valuable.

    In addition to all the other comments, radiant heat doesn't dry out your skin like forced air does. This was a big plus for me.

    This seems like a cool product, something that we could use. However our main ERP system doesn't have an API, so I've been building a custom scraper that feeds into a Django app, which allows custom tooling around our data. This

    Thanks! I've used jadx once before to decompile a steamship line app, but it was just curiosity with no end goal in mind. Didn't try it with the chipotle app. Next project!

    Awesome! I tried writing a CLI tool for ordering Chipotle, but I ran into some dynamically generated headers, that made it near impossible to authenticate. In the end, I gave up. Would love to see more examples and see how issues like this

    I'd love to hear another logical perspective on this. I'm struggling to fathom another reason for a job existing (perhaps I'm closed-minded about it). Jobs are gaps, unfulfilled value -- why would jobs exist otherwise? I&#x27

    Ah got it. Yeah seems like that's direct HTML. It would make the script faster and less error prone for sure. I'll check out the repo in depth and see if there are any low hanging fruit.

    Usually for dynamic pages, it's still working off of some internal API. So when I search for first name starts with "a", it's sending a POST request to https://efdsearch.senate.gov/search/report&#x2F

    Nice! Any particular reason you picked using selenium+chromedriver instead of an http lib (like requests) and beautifulsoup?
